Frozen Foods!

One thing about completely redoing a kitchen is that you won't have a kitchen to use during the renovation! During the last few weeks before Markus was born, Sandra and I set up a little area in the livingroom to use as a kitchen. The microwave and crockpot were our choices, so we either cooked for 6 minutes or 6 hours! Anyway, we started to shop in the "taboo" Frozen Foods section of our supermarket. We were both newcomers to this aisle and were pretty surprised by the selection. We decided to pick up a few items that were on sale since we didn't have any particular brand preference. We started with Oscar Meyer Deli Creations Flatbread Chicken Sandwich and Honey, Ham & Swiss sandwich. They cost about $3.43 regularly, but they were on sale for half price. We were pleasantly surprised as we liked these sandwiches. The portions were a bit small though. Nonetheless, a good value for the sale. And so it started.... Here's a list of what we tried (at least what I wrote down):



In short, we really like the Stouffers brand foods, especially if its on sale! Also good were Ms T's Pierogi's. Although the Boston Market food ranked high, it was pretty expensive. At no point in your life should you ever eat anything made by Banquet. The nuggets, corn and mashed potatoes all tasted like water. Also not on the list was some Barron's Pizzas that were decent, but coming from New York, I really have a hard time eating home cooked pizzas. Compared to a good slice from a New York Pizzaria, they're crap.

Also, just about all of the portions on these meals felt too small. Although, that could be a problem with us, not the meal! At the end though, we're not as opposed to grabbing a few of these meals (on sale, of course) and having it in the freezer as a quick backup. They can really be a convenience.
